                    [Summary] => COTABATO CITY — Political leaders in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) perceived the assumption into office of Sulu Gov. Benjamin Loong as the rebirth of the legendary "Magic Eight," a once influential group of big Tausog clans in eight vote-rich towns in the perennially politically-turbulent province.


Loong hails from Parang, one of the eight towns that once composed what was then the "political kingdom" of the Magic Eight, which his elder brother, Tupay, Sulu’s former provincial governor, helped establish in the early ’70s.
